Last weekend was Colum's Blue and Gold Banquet. We showed up expecting it to be a banquet, with food and decorated tables, giving out of awards, and such. I was surprised to find out that it is simply a 'birthday' party for scouting, with cupcakes and some party games. I talked to one of the other mothers, and she said they decided a while back it was too stressful doing the 'whole banquet thing with the theme decorating'... and decided to keep it very laid back and just have fun. Hmmmm? Anyway, the kids certainly did have a lot of fun so I can't complain too much... but I certainly do think they should change it to Blue and Gold Birthday Party, if that's the case. So Colum will have to wait until March to get the many activity pins and compass points that he has earned, along with his religious emblem.
